    Hi guys,

    This is quite a silly question but my car has been apart for a while and I am in process of wiring up a new harness for the lights up front.

    Also with time the parking light assemblies have been messed with by previous auto electricians.

    So I want to know which bulbs / lamps should be lighting up for the front indicators.

    My car has a large side marker lights as in the image above.

    My guess is that the side lights ( I think they only have one bulb across the length of them) and the outside parking lights double as the indicators but I would really like to confirm.

    Can't find any videos of my own car or online with them indicating.

    Thanks guys!

    The side lamp is the cornering lamp. It lights up (only when headlights are on I think) coinciding with which directional is on. So if you are making a right turn, the right side cornering lamp will turn on to illuminate that side of the road a better. I don't know if there is second bulb in them, though, for the front amber section, if there is, then I would imagine that is wired with directionals.

    also handy to know:

    here's the bulb info from my 1975 owner's manual, should be the same for 1976:
